anime: Full Metal Panic? FUMOFFU!

[meganbmoore]

Yes, already watched the whole thing.  After Perfect Girl Evolution, FMP is about the purest form of anime crack there is.  This series focused on Sousuke and Kaname in school, which was the best part of the first series.  Watching Sousuke attempt to be a normal teenager without a clue as to what one ois is worth almost any price.  I really liked

FMP is very very wonderful (it starts a bit slow but then really gets good). It's my third favorite anime series.

Btw, I started the ceres manga, and it's even better than the anime :)

FMP is very very wonderful

It was the bit that I found by Googling "he was sent to be her protection" that got me hooked at once. I loooove these things!!

I have never read any manga, and I must confess I never seen one in the bookshops. :(

Re: manga. That is so odd. We have some in even small or medium sized bookstores around here, and whole sections devoted to them in large chain stores like Borders or Barnes&Noble.

FMP is amazing. I adore Sousuke and Kaname and actually, they vie for my favorite anime otp spot, with Miaka and Tamahome from Fushigi Yuugi (which you totally have to watch). There is one scene in the rain with guns and white shirts especially...*sigh*

She is so non-wimpish and funny and cracky and he is so strong and figuring out how to be a human and just protective and huuuuh

My favorite still:

We MUST fix the lack of manga in your life.

*points to her post yesterday*

you should make the bookstore order Basara for you.

WHen I think more of it, may be I never searched well in the bookstores? It is more difficult because I usually order books/DVDs from the Web. I will try to find!!!!!!

[dangermousie]

It's usually labeled as manga/graphic novels here. But online stores have nots of them, just search by title (e.g. 'Ceres: The Celestial Legend.')

[alexandral]

Most bookstores(here, at least) have a section for manga and graphic novels.

Also, amazon often has manga in the "4-for-3" sale.

FMP is awesome...just to not eat, drink, brush your teeth or be holding anything that's not invulnerable while you watch it...disasters could occur.
